[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The brother is living with the parents and helping take care of them. He is, no doubt, doing far more for the parents than OP or the other siblings are.  I think OP underestimates how much work is involved and how much better off the parents and the whole family are just by the brother being there.  The brother deserves the house.[/quote]

What fairytale world do you live in?  The idea that a 50 year old man living with his parents (who are paying his bills and supporting him) is somehow a CAREGIVER is quite a stretch.  [/quote]

This. Lol.  [/quote]

I come from a world where my 50 year old brother lives with my mother (my father being long deceased) and his siblings and I are extraordinarily grateful.  I also come from a world where my brother's ex-wife, also in her 50s, lived with her mother (with Alzheimer's) for years and her siblings are grateful.

Even if the brother is a f*ck up, there are intangible benefits to having him living with elderly parents.  And remember, his relationship with his parents is different than his relationship with his siblings.  Note that the OP isn't saying her parents don't like him living with them or want him gone.  No doubt they like having him there.

And in the end it's THEIR money. [/quote]

They like having him there because they like controlling his life. They’ve never learned to let go and created a man-child that society will have to take care of once they’re gone.

Yes, it’s their money, [b]but that doesn’t mean their behavior is right.[/b][/quote]

OMG! Are you serious? Who made you moral cop? [/quote]

We’re all on here moralizing. Why are you here?[/quote]
